Ambrose
Courtney: Ambrose is all male to me, not unisex at all. Courtney is all girl to me too, even though, unlike Ambrose, I've run across a male Courtney or two. The combo is just random and weird looking.
Jamie
Adele: Adele is not unisex to me either. I think Jamie is cute on a girl, babyish on a boy, and if this is a boy, I pity him. :) It's nice enough on a girl.
Palmer
Hadley: Doesn't even sound like a person, but like a law firm. Palmer, Hadley and McElrath, Ambulance Chasing Our Specialty.
Sydney
Jay: The spelling of Sydney is all girl to me. It's not terrible, but the Jay makes it more masculine and also to the ear it just sounds like an initial. On a boy it's very mobbed-up Old Hollywood producer/agent.
Raven
Asher: Raven's all girl and Asher's all boy to me. The combo just doesn't work, and it sounds, with the ash and the raven, like a silly, self-chosen emo-goth screen name.
Alexis
Gayle: This is all girl to me. I like it though I'd spell Gayle Gail.
Joss
Avery: Hate both names. Joss isn't a good full name.
Sheridan
Murphy: Another law firm name, but less skeezy than Palmer Hadley and McElrath.
Jewel
Chandler: Jewel is all girl to me. The combo isn't awful but sounds like someone you'd go to see to appraise your diamonds.
Riley
Blair: Doesn't sound good together but it's not terrible. I really don't like Blair.
Waverly
Hunter: Another law firm. Or someone that hunts waverlys.
Billie
Devin: This spelling of Billie is all girl. The combo is lopsided: to me, Billie is a Dust Bowl, barefoot, raggedy dress, pigtails coming apart kind of name and Devin/Devon is a plastic-surgeried aging stripper name.
Darcy
Meredith: All girl to me. Sounds like she might be the rather pushy intern at one of the law firms.
Leighton
Harley: Hate hate hate Leighton. The combo sounds like a motorcycle dealership.
Florence
Hollis: Florence is not unisex to me. The combo doesn't flow the best, but I do kind of like Florence. Hollis sounds snotty.
Kendall
Rae: All girl to me. Very Dance Moms or Toddlers in Tiaras vibes.
Dale
Quinn: Dale is all male to me, Dale Evans aside. I hate Quinn. The combo is a clunker.
Kirby
Allyn: Never seen Allyn and don't like the look of it, but Kirby Allen/Allan/Alan is fine, but only on a boy. It's pretty handsome, actually.
Schuyler
Monroe: God I hate the spelling Schuyler, even if it is the original. I hate Monroe too, on either sex. The combo gives me very obnoxious vibes.
Morgan
Bailey: Vapid.
Haven
Emerson: Also vapid.
Whitney
Aubrey: Love Whitney, hate Aubrey, and the combo doesn't flow. It's all girl.
Allison
Kelly: All girl to me. It's nice but sounds more like a fn/ln combo.
